Thank you for the video Dave 👍. You're spot on about steam cleaning being a lot slower but safer than a pressure washer.

do people really think that engineers don't design under hood components to get wet? modern cars use various seals and gaskets on all electrical connectors and covers. this isn't a tv or an electronic that's in your house that stays warm and dry all the time. car are subject to extreme temperature swings, high humidity, monsoon level rain, and snow/slush that packs under the car. what do think happens under your hood when you drive through a deep puddle and water shoots over the car, does it magically stay out of the engine compartment? just don't flood the engine bay with water and blow it off with a leaf blower or air compressor and you will be fine.

I've been washing the engine bays of every single car I've ever owned for the past 35 years and have never had any problems. One exception. My mother's 1989 Peugeot 405 developed a misfire after engine cleaning that took a whole day of driving to clear out. Dealer later told me that it was a common problem. Those cars were bad. Really bad.

I always love the sense of humour you bring to your videos.
100% prefer using steam to clean delicate areas around the cars that I work on.

I've have a classic mini and the previous owner smothered it in wax oil great it has persevered it but how do I get rid of it, have you ever had this.

[paul-fkde]

This will be a much safer way to clean my engine bay as it has warning labels on it no pressure washer thanks for sharing 👌👍

[eamonkelly]

Great video dave, like you said so many people are afraid to go near them, most weeks after clearing my car I just wipe down everything and once in a while I'll get the apc out and give it a better clean, p.s can't wait to see you on tv again tomorrow night

[pfmusic]

Thanks for the tips. I've got a similar steam cleaner but never used on my car. Will give it a go. Thanks

Great video! Informative and easy on the eye! 😉

[stevenjones-mi]

Brilliant video Dave, that's a idea use the steamer to clean the engine, at a steady pace to use.

I detail cars at a used car dealership and cleaning the engine bay used to be my least favorite task but I have discovered the a foam cannon followed by a soft brush and a spray bottle of plain water take care of it pretty fast and no high pressure water hits anything. The highest pressure that hits it is a spray bottle so there is zero risk. I've never used steam. Some engine sensors are very sensitive to temperature (like the IAC inside the air intake) especially quick temperature changes. Steam may not have the pressure to get past wiring seals and such, but it carries risk too.
